Breaking eco-news: Harper officially hates the environment

This message is directly copied from an urgent email I received last night. Its urgency required me to just get the word out as quickly as possible.

Step 1) read the pasted article below

Step 2) Call Stephen Harper, like I did, at 613 992 4211
Email him: http://pm.gc.ca/eng/contact.asp

Step 3) Share this blog posting with everyone you know.

And now, the message:

It is unknown how these recent revelations might affect her campaign as she tries to wrestle the Democrats hold on the blue state senate seat.

For years on the hit TV show Dallas, actor Larry Hagman portrayed the quintessential Texas black gold tycoon JR Ewing. Now Hagman is playing JR once again, this time in a commercial for solar power. In the ad for Solar World, a German company that makes photovoltaic modules, Hagman, as JR, announces that the oil business has been very good to him over the years but it’s far too dirty now, which is why he’s gone solar. Then, in a parody of Sarah Palin’s famous “drill, baby, drill” line, he urges the audience to “shine, baby, shine!”
